ST JOHN’S, Antigua – Cricket West Indies (CWI) Chief Executive Officer Chris Dehring has lauded the Trinidad & Tobago Red Force Divas for their outstanding victory in the CG United Women’s Super50 Cup 2025, following a thrilling tournament held in St. Kitts.
The competition, which concluded on the eve of International Women’s Day, highlighted the passion, determination, and burgeoning talent within women’s cricket across the Caribbean, captivating fans and inspiring a new generation of players.
In his congratulatory remarks, Dehring praised the Red Force Divas for their exceptional performance throughout the tournament.
“The Trinidad & Tobago Red Force Divas displayed remarkable skill and tactical brilliance under the leadership of Karishma Ramharack. They leveraged their strengths to clinch the title, showcasing the depth of talent emerging in the region. It was truly inspiring to witness so many young players excelling at such a high level.”
In the final, Trinidad & Tobago dominated multiple-time champions Barbados, securing a convincing seven-wicket win. Captain Karishma Ramharack was named Player of the Final for her stellar bowling performance, supported by veteran Anisa Mohammed, who claimed three wickets.
Contributions from 15-year-old Amrita Ramtahal and West Indies Under-19 captain Samara Ramnath helped restrict Barbados to a modest 71 runs.
Trinidad & Tobago chased down the target with ease, finishing at 75 for 3 to claim their first title since 2017.

“The progress witnessed in this year’s competition underscores the vital role cricket, particularly women’s cricket, plays in our region. CWI remains dedicated to nurturing talent and ensuring sustained success on the global stage.”
Reiterating CWI’s commitment to gender equality in cricket, Dehring highlighted the organisation’s focus on creating more opportunities for women across all levels of the sport:
“As we celebrate this victory on International Women’s Day, CWI acknowledges the need for greater inclusivity and opportunities for women in cricket. We are committed to fostering an environment where women can thrive as players, coaches, and administrators, moving closer to achieving parity in the sport.”
Dehring also extended special recognition to Merissa Aguilleira, the tournament’s only female head coach, who guided Trinidad & Tobago to victory in her debut season as coach:
“Merissa’s success is a shining example of the critical role women play in the development of cricket. Her leadership and experience were pivotal to her team’s triumph, and we hope to see more women transitioning from players to coaching and leadership roles in the future.”
